RHdiversity among patients and donors contributes to Rh immunization despite serologic Rh‐matched red cell transfusions. Anti‐D can occur in D+ patients withRHDvariants that encode partial D antigens. Anti‐D has also been reported in patients with conventionalRHDtransfused primarily with units from Black donors who frequently have variantRHD. We report 48 anti‐D in 690 D+ transfused individuals with sickle cell disease, categorized here as expressing conventional D, partial D or D antigen encoded byRHD*DAU0. Anti‐D formed in a greater proportion of individuals with partial D, occurred after fewer D+ unit exposures, and remained detectable for longer than for those in the other categories. Among all anti‐D, 13 had clinical or laboratory evidence of poor transfused red cell survival. Most individuals with anti‐D were chronically transfused, including 32 with conventionalRHDwho required an average of 62 D− units/year following anti‐D. Our findings suggest that patients with partial D may benefit from prophylactic D− orRHgenotype‐matched transfusions to prevent anti‐D. Future studies should investigate whetherRHgenotype‐matched transfusions can improve use of valuable donations from Black donors, reduce D immunization and minimize transfusion of D− units to D+ individuals with conventionalRHDorDAU0alleles.
